I was good and only bought one thing for myself: this cool faux leather belt. I fell in love with the buckle.

And only $3.99 at Value Village?

I love it when an item has a stamp or mark on it.

This one says "Mimi di N - (c) 1981". Never heard of this company before - their website (here, linking 'cause I love) is pretty basic.

After a long shop, I am done! I came home, napped and then got ready for Nick and Karen's party. I had to wear my new dress!

My head got cut off in the photos (the heels are too tall!), so I did some selfies in the bathroom. I had to add the brooch to the decolletage, as it really dives low! No one needs to see that far down my dress!

Man o man, that's some schpetacular dress!! Just a million - much more than that surely. I bet Vizzini loves your dress too. And I always love your silvers and fringes. Have a great countdown to down time!

Wowza, you look fantastic in this feathery peach delight! Isn't it just the best thing ever when you find a perfect vintage piece like this - it's truly made to measure. Have a lovely New Year xAnnaAnnas' Island Style

WOW SHE ! that orange dress is fab ! and it fits you so well. You read my thoughts when you mentioned that Vizzini was wondering about the feathers .... I could picture him wanting to attack them !And of course I love that new leaf belt - its a great piece .
